  I was chatting just yesterday with someone who is trying to put
together a software start-up, who was remarking on how hard he was
finding it to locate and recruit programmers for Windows whose
knowledge ran deeper than MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes; C++
(and C#?) environment) and Visual BASIC.  Those are fine for quickly
building flashy user interfaces, won't cut it for the kind of system
internals functionality he is trying to build.
